Description
The bidders should note that this is the original “hot pressing” of this album STERLING etched in the trail-off vinyl of the disc.
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.
CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABEL
THE RECORD HAS A "STERLING" STAMP IN THE TRAIL-OFF VINYL (DEAD WAX) AREA, WHICH IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED AS A PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY OF THE FIRST GENERATION OF PRESSINGS.
THE PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.
CONDITION:
RECORD
THE VINYL IS NEAR MINT, just a notch below MINT. For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. The original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
